How to copy parent properties from child class to another child class at run time?

[sqrt(-1)]

Hi all,

I have 3 classes:

A: parent class

B and C: child classes

At run time, I'd like to istantiate an object of the class C from an existing object of the class B.

In particular: I have an object of class B with its properties; then, I want to create an object of class C whose parent properties are "taken" from the object B.

I tried using "To more generic class" and "to more specific class" but without success.

Can you help me?

At the top of my head, you could have a method of the parent class that transfers the private data from one object to another.  With dynamic dispatching, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

You basically have to write the explicit code which will take all the relevant data and pass each thing to the new object.

Thanks you tst. This is exactly what I need to know. I will copy each single property.

Thanks
